Denver’s CBS affiliate reports:
A newly introduced bill at the Colorado State Capitol would allow LGBTQ individuals to sue for damages caused by so-called conversion therapy, or therapy aimed at changing the sexual orientation or gender identity of a person.
The practice was banned in Colorado in 2019, and the American Medical Association – among other medical and mental health organizations – has said it is ineffective and can lead to depression, anxiety, and other psychological injuries.
Sponsors of HB26-1322 say many of those harmed by the therapy don’t come forward for years. Their bill would eliminate the statute of limitations in cases involving conversion therapy.
Read the full article. In October 2025, the Supreme Court heard a hate group’s challenge to Colorado’s conversion therapy ban. A ruling is expected by June.
House Bill 26-1322 would allow Coloradans harmed by conversion therapy to sue their practitioners. This comes as the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether Colorado’s conversion therapy ban is unconstitutional.
